A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH DECLARING ITS INTENTION
TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER
THE GRANTING OF A NON - EXCLUSIVE SOLID
WASTE FRANCHISE TO C & N WASTE SERVICES.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the collection of solid waste
generated within the City is a vital public service and that the storage, accumulation, collection,
and disposal of solid waste and recyclables is a matter of great public concern because improper
control of such matters would subject the City to potential liability, damages and penalties and
may create a public nuisance, air pollution, fire hazard, infestation, and other problems affecting
the public health, safety and welfare; and,
WHEREAS, non - exclusive franchises for the use of public streets to provide
commercial solid waste hauling services will promote the public health, safety, and welfare by
promoting permanence and stability among those businesses wishing to provide such service
and accountability to the City for compliance with current and future state mandates; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article XM of the City Charter and pursuant to Sections 49500
through 49523 of the Public Resources Code, the City is authorized to enter into non - exclusive
franchise agreements for commercial solid waste collection services with private solid waste
haulers; and,
WHEREAS, C & N Waste Services, and private firm, has submitted an application
requesting a Non - exclusive Solid Waste Franchise that satisfies the City's application
requirements.
